Happy Saturday. It is very breezy but warm so washing on my rotary will be dry in no time. It is apparently our last dry day for some time so I am doing my best to finish garden chores. I took George on to the moors for half an hour and on the way back to the car park had an interesting conversation with a family who had…

I managed to dodge the showers walking round the block. A man I often see riding his horse on this route, called out wasn’t it lovely to be enjoying sunshine and how long did I think we had. Ten minutes if we’re lucky was my response and I wasn't far off! My friend Linda then collected me and we drove to one of our…

Not beautiful weather Sandy but a continual run of torrential showers and thunderstorms. Nothing much getting achieved outside and I’ll say at this point to Lin, be careful what you wish for when it comes to rain. I was at that stage a couple of weeks ago but now….!!🙄🌧️. George and I haven’t had a dry walk in days and…

George has this morning received his booster jab and I picked up his Bravecto tablets. The vet Sue asked about our daily walks and if he needs the more powerful wormer because I hadn’t collected tablets for some time. That was because I’m using up Betty’s supply but she agrees his lifestyle doesn’t require him to take one…

Just as I posted the above, a message came through on my iPhone from what I know to be a scam pretending it is from a government department. It’s never ending isn’t it!! 😤😠🤯 Jackie 🥰

Good morning and apologies for not posting. We were warned Autumnal weather was on the way so I threw myself into all sorts of outdoor tasks and looks like just in time! These days I fall asleep as soon as I relax but today my only plan is to do some housework downstairs. George had an appointment for his annual booster…

Happy Wednesday. I’ve been struggling to sign in and was about to give up when tapping practically every key got me in! We’ve finally and thankfully had some heavy rain so I’m waiting for the angry clouds to move away before walking George. Yesterday I had to chase the vet practice to sort out a date for his procedures.…

Apologies for not posting yesterday. I worked hard in my garden and finished by cutting the grass with what has become a heavy lawnmower so of course, when I sat to relax in the evening, I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until gone midnight! It is another beautiful day and I’ve already walked George on the moors where there…

I was typing a post when it suddenly seemed determined to disappear! I did manage to retrieve it once but then the page went blank! Past my bedtime so I won’t start over but a similar day to yesterday, gardening in the sunshine. Jackie 🥰

It has been a lovely day, sunny and not too hot so I walked George early on the moors then spent time weeding and trying to dig ground that has become solid due to lack of rain. We have a Bank holiday weekend that should remain dry and warm so I won’t be going far because the roads will be busy. George is feeling a lot…

My shoes arrived. I haven’t tried them on yet because I’m wearing wellies while I do gardening and my feet swell a bit when the weather is hot. I’m enjoying a tea break then back to work. Sorry Sandy and Lin. So many friends between us! 😁 Jackie 🥰

It is warm but cloudy so ideal for me to be outside pruning and tidying the perennials. I was out early with George and we walked for nearly an hour. The ground is currently very uneven because it is so dry and my phone’s Health app has warned me because it thinks I’m becoming unsteady and might fall. I’m not sure how I…

I love that teapot Lin! It has rained on and off all day but I did manage to walk George first thing without us getting too wet. Groceries were bought before coming home and fuel for the car. A quiet time at home after that. A few more tomatoes picked and potato salad made following an online recipe. Tomorrow is the last…

Thunderstorms here today as well. I did manage to walk round the village with George before it started and because there was no rain, just a lot of crashing and flashing, I spent time shutting up the greenhouse and bagging up cuttings left from yesterday. After that I relaxed, did some reading and researching new walking…

I discovered my IPhone had blocked Wi-Fi first thing but while I was in the shower the phone had popped up a message showing me a way to get back online so I’ve followed the instructions and here I am. A software update iOS 18.6.1 had failed in the night so I wonder if that had something to do with it. Looks like it’s only…

It has been a struggle to get and stay online. So frustrating so I’m keeping busy outside. There is lots to do and luckily, like Barbie, I’m content on my own. While it has been another hot period I’m taking George on the moors very early but that means I don’t often see my usual dog walking friends. The area around the…

Goodness me, it feels like I’ve been cut off from the world! Wi-Fi stopped working then phone calls kept dropping out and after trying every little trick to reset my iPhone and iPad I had to give up. I think it might have been some sort of atmospheric interference because we do experience problems from sun spots. Then with…

😠😡. I typed a long post a few hours ago but there’s no sign of it! I’m about to cook a meal and will try to get back later. It’s never the same second time around but I’ll do my best. Meanwhile here is a short video recorded on my phone early this morning! Jackie 🥰 No, not working. Will try again. MFP not liking me today!

Hello everyone. It has been a busy Saturday. Lots of laundry washed and hung out to dry in the sunshine then George and I headed for the hills. It was quite busy but I managed to find a quiet route that visitors wouldn’t discover and we were able to see the new lambs and a few horses with their foals. I managed to get…

Gosh, another Friday! The weeks are flying by. Yesterday was a bit fraught for me because George had an appointment with the vet to look at a cyst that had burst on his shoulder. I had been washing the area with a saline solution but it had become inflamed and painful. Our usual vet wasn’t there but a very nice lady…

Wow! I Google searched Moloka’i and read about the Hawaiian archipelago then found a review of a book of the same title by Alan Brennert that was very interesting although the reviewer admitted she cried through most of the read!! I’m going to see if I can get my hands on a copy. Jackie 🥰

I’m afraid yesterday was another of my days where I managed to do a lot of housework, including washing the floors in my shower room and kitchen, then again looking at ways I might be able to turn my extremely heavy mattress so I can then get round the room with my new Bosch cleaner. I fell asleep at some point in the…

A strong storm swept across Britain today but luckily Cornwall only caught the tail end early afternoon. George and I walked on the moors early on then I drove to the farm supply store for layers pellets for the hens. I had also wanted Brady’s Whiskas sachets but there weren’t any on the shelf so I will have to shop…

What a wonderful photo Sandy. You must be having loads of fun. Lin, thanks for updating us on Anne’s news. I owe her an email and will settle down this evening to write. The Yorkshire vet practice did the same as mine joining an investment group who seem to concentrate on making money, not caring for our pets! Here’s a…

It rained all day so once again my garden projects were put on hold. I walked George round the block but it was unusually busy with a lot of traffic and as you know, there are no pavements (your sidewalks) on our country roads. The final straw for George was a small digger being used to noisily create a trench on a corner…

Here I am finally. No loss of internet this time but Sunday I was caught up watching our England womens football team play in the final of the European cup and win so then I watched celebrations until way past bedtime. In the morning I made my cherry and rhubarb chutney and somehow created a pile of washing up and general…

A very quiet day for me. When I took George on to the moors I planned to walk high on the hills but there was light rain in the air and a chilly wind and because George has such a short cut, decided it wouldn’t be fair on him so stayed on lower tracks. I stopped at the local store for a couple of items including a jar of…

we are enjoying a beautiful summer’s day so warm, dry and a slight breeze. George and I walked on the moors while my washing machine went through a circle, then once hung out I went off with Linda to a farm shop for coffee and cakes. I left George at home in the cool and because the window cleaner arrived as I was walking…

It was George’s grooming day so we took a shorter walk on a section of the moors where fewer livestock graze. Less messy to walk! When the groomer arrived we agreed that a short coat would be best for our warmer days and then see how our climate is in September. He looks very cute and much smaller! I gave Debbie the…
